Marina has horrible traffic, super touristy, though it does have a few more options in terms of good resi buildings.

In Singapore there are few condo buildings popular among expats for the amenities, community etc. is there something similar?

Business bay for sure. Super confusing access if you have to commute in. And still close to many amenities. What are you looking for in Marina specifically that you dani get in business bay / adjacent?

Thanks all for the replies🤝🏻 I ll definitely look around Business Bay. I am transferring from Singapore and I was thinking that out of all the areas, Marina would be more walkable
